What full names, maybe even stretching a bit, can you think of for Duke?

Luke, as a kind of rhyming slang nn
at a similarly wild stretch, Archer -> Archduke -> Duke
Earl, via the Duke of Earl
Duncan Kenneth, or Duane Kenneth, or something else with Du and Ke
a last name like Ducane or Duclos or Duchovny

Douglas I guess? I feel it's slightly a dumb name tbh.

I think you kind of have to earn this kind of nn, unless your last name is Dukes or Dukanovic or Duquesne, or possibly your name is John Wayne Lastname.
I read not too long ago that John Wayne got the nn Duke after his dog Duke which followed him around everywhere.

This is my reason for wondering. I was thinking of using Duke because my dad loves John Wayne films.

Honestly I don't think it could reasonably be short for anything. In my head it's a bit like someone calling their son Prince. Maybe that's because I'm English.What might work is as a MN and you could affetionately call him Duke.Alexander Duke 'Duke'
Francis Duke
Edward Duke
Henry Duke
Leon Duke
Samuel Duke etc etc
